It was always going to be a difficult task to try to counter this "simple problem - simple solution" propaganda with stuff like facts and evidence, because unlike simplistic hard right propaganda, the actual facts are rarely unequivocal. Anyone who tried to claim that the EU is perfect is a demonstrable liar, but anyone who tried to present post-Brexit Britain as a land of milk and honey where the Tories suddenly begin caring about the NHS could, like Chris Grayling, wriggle out of it by claiming that their Utopian and uncosted spending pledges weren't actual policies, but just "options".

The problem presenting facts and evidence to oppose this "simple problem -simple solution" argument and the fantastically unrealistic promises options of the Brexit camp was exacerbated by a worrying anti-intellectual backlash against expert opinion exemplified by Brexiter Michael Gove's assertion that "people in this country have had enough of experts".So millions of people bought the hard-right Tory snake oil and the green light has now been given for a Tory ideological rampage to deliver even more of the stuff that they just blamed the EU for in order to get their own way.

Many of the people celebrating today will be the victims of this forthcoming Tory rampage, while many of those holding their heads and asking "how?" will be insulated from the worst of it by virtue of being well-to-do.That's just the nature of things in Tory Britain. The poor and the vulnerable bear the brunt of it, the well-to-do get by just well enough to make them sceptical about rocking the boat, and the super-rich minority get filthy rich. If we had voted Remain, this Tory upwards redistribution of wealth would doubtlessly have continued as it had for the last six years, but voting Leave has given the fanatical hard-right of the Tory party so much more power to write their appalling wealth transfer objectives into the UK legal system and constitution.
